Cheers for your help guys i'll take it all into consideration i'm gonna start the download on the weekend, i have a fast connection at uni, typically 400k/s (going on previous downloads using ie) so hopefully it wont take me too many hours, i'll have a little bit more of a read around though on the differences between mandrake and red hat, but i feel a lot more set now :cool:
cheers again

Cemetric to answer your offtopic post :), any linux guru I know uses Debian. The reasons usually given to explain this are apt which is supposed to be a far superior tool to rpm and the fact that Debian is the only true opensource linux distro - ie it is completely developed/maintained by volunteers - no-one makes any money like they do with redhat,mandrake or suse.

Cemetric,
if you're looking for a more advanced linux distro then redhat, i would go for a debian, or possibly slackware. slack is a bit easier to install then debian, and it's only one iso to download. i would also highly recomment suse, i've been running it for about a week and love it...but only the eval version is free, it's about 40 bucks to buy the full version.
if you're looking for a bsd, i would definatly go with freebsd over openbsd, i think it's easier to run as a desktop os. also freebsd just came out with their new version (4.7) just recently, and openbsd is just about to, so save yourself from downloading it twice.
oh yea, and i've read a whole lot of good stuff about icepack linux, but i've yet to try it out. i plan to in the near future....anyone heard anything about it??
